Hebrews 10

Hebrews 10:32-39

But remember the former days when you endured a harsh conflict of suffering after you were enlightened.

At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and afflictions, and at other times you came to share with others who were treated in that way.

For in fact you shared the sufferings of those in prison, and you accepted the confiscation of your belongings with joy, because you knew that you certainly had a better and lasting possession.

So do not throw away your confidence, because it has great reward.

For you need endurance in order to do God's will and so receive what is promised.

For just a little longer and he who is coming will arrive and not delay.

But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, I take no pleasure in him.

But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.
